schoolsthatrockGrade 11 learners, Ben Stoltzman and Casey Bloomberg along with Tate Moor and Vieve Staal recently completed their GOLD PRESIDENT’S AWARD RESIDENTIAL PROJECT.
They spent 4 days “Helping the Breede River”, tackling the highly invasive alien aquatic plant, Water Hyacinth. This plant is considered the most dangerous weed in the world and is causing the Breede River to shrink – it has a massively negative impact on all aquatic ecosystems.
The team braved spiders, snakes, sunburn and exhaustion for 4 long days removing the Water Hyacinths on the Breede River and although the work was incredibly hard, they left feeling a great sense of accomplishment and pride for the difference they had made.
